Question

Is it appropriate to tell my new boss I'm pregnant by email?

I am currently 10 weeks pregnant, and I am moving to another state in about 2 weeks. I got hired as a teacher there right before I found out I was pregnant. I was going to wait until I moved to tell my boss, in person, a few weeks before school starts. Now I have to send a health form to HR this week. On the form, my doctor indicated the fact that I am pregnant. I do not want my boss to find out through HR, so I was considering telling him by email. Is this a bad idea?
